Convergence at Tharos (FT; OOC Signup thread)
Scrinthia
02-07-2008, 02:38
Greetings all. I am Scrinthia, also known to some as Kaldari (GDI) and Telros.
I am making this ooc thread as I am going to be making a thread and I can't play the normal "let everyone join in" because that would ruin the thread. What is this thread, you ask? It is simple. For any whom have played Dawn of War Dark Crusade, it is a familiar scenario.
As said in the title, there is a planet Tharos. It is one of many within the wide span of the Imperium of Man. It is relatively close to such Empires as the Orks and the Tau Empire. It has its own PDF and the Imperial Guard, and it is relatively close to a nearby Space Marine chapter. However, this does not save from the coming hell that is going to be unleashed.
The 345th Imperial Guard Regiment, the Tharos Hawks, are protecting the planet along with the local PDF forces. Unknown to them, however, is that Hive Fleet Gorgon has turned its eyes to the planet. They have already seeded the planet with Genestealers and the Broodlord, and have been cultivating the Genestealer Cults. This has been going on for some time now, and it would seem that when the time was right, the Tyranids would come, wipe out all defenses and gather up all genetic material.
However, both a ray of hope and the flame of despair arrived for Tharos. The planet had suffered several Ork attacks in the past, which were beaten off. The spores dropped off continuously by the Orks during the attacks and when they were killed have seeded a large southern continent quite firmly and a large empire of Feral Orks have arisen. They have been attacked constantly by Imperial forces, both Space Marine and Imperial Guard, but they have not been able to cow them completely. And within months, they have grown back to full strength. Normally, this would not have been enough to help Tharos, as even the Feral Orks huge numbers wouldn't have stopped the Tyranids but an Ork Warboss known as Gor'gaz Planetcrusha has taken interest in the system. He wants a good planet to begin a massive WAAAGH! to take into Imperial space and fight the Space Marines close nearby. His fleet, led by his Space Hulk Space Crusha, will arrive at the planet and begin a massive WAAAGH against the Imperial forces, using the southern continent as his base of operations and recruiting the Feral Orks into his boyz. As the Imperial forces come under attack, the planetary governor sends out a call for reinforcements.
Soon after Imperial and Ork forces begin to clash all over the planet, the Genestealer Cults sense an opportunity and begin their attack, striking the Imperial cities and government, seeking to destroy all resistance. Both the call of the Patriarch there as well as the Ork's psychic presence, will be large enough to incite the Hive Mind of Hive Fleet Gorgon to begin traveling to the planet. This will not arrive until later in the thread. The Orks, upon seeing the Tyranids, will be overjoyed at more enemies and begin an attack on them, making the war a three-way affair and cause the Tyranids to struggle to weaken the Imperials and try to weaken the Orks as well, while the Imperials will try to defeat both forces.
All of this is the backstory of the thread. The war will have reached its height by the time it begins, which is with my nation I use with this account, the Tau Empire. The Tau, having sought to understand the Warp more so as to increase their FTL capabilities and to satisfy their curiosity at places like Medusa IV, have managed to get word of some kind of ancient artifact that is able to control the Warp and is rumored to be able to generate and control Warp Storms. A Tau fleet is sent under the command of Shas'O Shi'erra, and Ethereal Aun'li Sha'Kor to deal with any enemy forces on the planet and retrieve the artifact for study. The Tau, upon arrival will be sucked into the war as they duel the remnants of the Imperial and Ork fleets for control of Tharos's orbit and to get to the artifact.
They are not the only ones to seek this artifact however. I imagine those of you who are Imperium of Man nations or Chaos nations *cough*Chronosia*cough*, will seek this artifact as well. The IoM to destroy it or maybe study it before destruction and Chaos for obvious reasons of being able to cut off entire systems from aid and to bring forth Warp daemons with greater ease. Other nations not of the 40k universe can be drawn in for a variety of reasons, ones which I would like to be shown here.
Now that I have finished my story-telling, I will let those who wish to get in on this go ahead and post. Simply tell me your nation name, a bit about it and its tech and maybe a rough estimate of the force size you will send. I do not want large, uber fleets of doom people. Keep it fair or I will cause the forces already at Tharos to get reinforcements and crush you. Same with insane armies, don't go overboard.
Anyways, nation name, blurb on it and its tech and what you will send, and also a reason for why you would send a military force there. If you aren't, say you are a small force inserted in or simply are observing somehow, say so and explain a bit about it. I hesitate to say I will need to approve all of it, but i just want to be sure we don't go overboard. All are welcome, of course, but after a point I will be cutting off entries.
So, go ahead and sign up and the Tharos Campaign may begin!

Greywatch
02-07-2008, 03:14
Nation Name: Empire of Greywatch
Nation Description/Technology: Mixed, most prominant is the PSR technology which is Greywatch's signature form of travel. The nation consists of four main races with two sub races, expect to hear the word 'Cryption' a lot. Its a semi-'magical' ability possess by a few in Greywatch, not including the Drones, Greywatch's artificial supersoldiers. Other than that, expect the typical projectile, plasma, laser, flamethrower... etc weapons. Mechs might be used but in very small numbers, Greywatch ain't big on that, mainly foot soldiers will be used.
Reason for Arrival: Energy signatures picked up by the Forbidden Ministry suggest something odd in a sector Greywatch has not explored. A military force is deployed to check the readings out and find out why they are so eractic.
The FM essentially has a way of looking at little pieces of universe and can see energy, to an extent. When they see interesting energy signature (or in this case, a mass of them), they tell the Greywatch council who then handles the situation from there.
Force Deployment: Two Worldslayers (Not capable of destroying worlds, its just a name). They will deploy land forces: Footsoldiers, mechs, tanks, etc.
Scrinthia

So GW, is this simply a small force sent to find out what is going on and then is caught up in things larger than what was expected?
Nation Name: Kilrany Empire
Nation Description/Technology: Hmmm, tough one, I kind of go for a half custom amalgamation of technologies, though I suppose the closest would be some kind of mix of Homeworld and Star Wars, I prefer to have the technology as simple backdrop as much as possible and prefer intent over trying to techno-babble my way through. I believe though you’ve seen some of it, I try not to go overboard with it all when possible, heh.
Reason for Arrival: Best I can come up with given my nation as it is ICly would be a malfunction in their hyperdrive that plops them in at the edge of the system, takes some time to ensure all is repaired and it wont happen again, and in the meantime they try to covertly watch what’s going on. I can’t imagine my role as being spectacular, but we’d be able to see what develops. I’m not huge fan of massive fleets, I prefer to try and keep my roles smallish for the time being until I can get more experience and obtain a decent feel for it.
Force Deployment: A single Athena class exploration ship.
I will admit to a certain level of ignorance about WH40K, I have very limited experience, only about what I’ve read in passing in a handful of role-plays and some light reading on wikipedia for the general idea, so this would just as likely be a way for me to learn more about it OOCly as I can have Kilrany do so ICly.
The only major catch here that I can think of though, I should ask, I have it set that there are no Kilrany psychics, they simply don’t exist for them except in works of fiction or in myths, as a trade off their minds are essentially closed off, would this pose a problem for you? I mean I have no problem with others using them; I just choose not to and would like to have that particular trade off as a result.

Pretty much, kinda like, 'There's something odd over there, let's go check it out.' 'Okay, checking it out- sh!t, now we're in a war.' 'Oh well, follow orders, let's figure out what's going on.' And then possibly it might go to: 'Hey, its the Tau, haven't we seen you somewhere?' 'Why the hell are you here?' 'Investigating... wait, what's going on?' Something like that is what I honestly was thinking as I read the intro...
Oh and as for cryption, best way of desribing it... think Logos from Tabula Rasa
The Cyberverse
02-07-2008, 03:41
Nation Name - The Cyberverse
Nation description - A small but specialized nation. Well-developed fast-attack vehicles and special forces units allow for a diverse deployment which runs rings around enemies. Long range radar and secure communicatons aid this method of deployment. However, heavy weapon deployment has suffered as a result of this. Whilst infantry and light vehicles are created on-world, long range ships are purchased from a Space Marine chapter, with the IoM acting as proxy
Reason for arrival - Scouts found a small artifact which, after extensive research, was found to originate from Tharos. Recently the leadership of the Cyberverse had heard rumors about warfare on Tharos, and using this as a pretext, sent a small expeditionary force to explore the planet, and search for the artifact rumored to be contained there. A larger force will be deployed if necessary.
Troop deployment : One Space Marine strike cruiser with two companies of exploratory troops (due to the high mobility of troops the Cyberverse can field roughly twice as many troops in an individual transport.

I see GW. I do not know of this Logos, however.
Cyberverse, that seems alright except I highly doubt the Space Marine chapter would sell their ships to you, since they have few enough as it is, nor the IoM. They're strapped for ships as it is, and that whole xenophobic killing of aliens and forcing conversion of all humans to the Imperium kinda prevents them from selling ships.
Dontgonearthere
02-07-2008, 04:11
I may have a go at this. I've been looking for an excuse for my military to switch from modern weaponry to something more shiny and futuristic.
Nation Name: The Republic of Earth
Nation Description/Technology:
The Republic of Earth is based on a sort of alternate-history where, around the early 2000's the planet was united under a single Republic. The technology is primarily based off of Gunbuster.
A rather horrific mish-mash of future-tech and modern equipment. Having only had FTL travel for sixty or so years at this point, there's still a good deal of more or less 'modern' equipment floating around in the army.
The space fleets are based around rather large ships (The largest 'standard' vessel is the Super Excellion class, at 10km, of which there are currently two in service. Most range from the 500m-2km.
Basically its 'hardboiled' sci-fi, hard on the outside, but soft on the inside. Lots of psuedoscience involving gravity and black holes and stuff.
Most of its primitive by NSGFT and WH40k standards, but they've got a good enough hold of gravetics to collapse the core of their galaxy into a super-super massive black hole :P
Reason for Arrival:
Hm, a trade fleet, perhaps? The Republic has generally avoided venturing outside of its own galaxy except for trade purposes. Its not unreasonable, I think, to say that a fleet might drop out of warp to make a course correction in the middle of something unpleasant, only to find themselves unable to move on.
Force Deployment:
Ahhh, a pair of trade ships (big (over 5km, a few hundred meters wide), ungainly, slow, moderatly armed, small crew), lots of loot for DA ORKZ, should they feel inclined to do some pillaging. :P
Probably a pair of cruisers, a destroyer, four frigates, and some corvettes. No doom kroozers, but a nicely rounded fleet capable of holding its own against most threats.
EDIT:
While this might seem like a large fleet for a 'trade convoy', keep in mind that this is INTERGALACTIC trade, by a single system in an otherwise empty (in terms of sentient life) galaxy. The loss of a single trader ship is a serious economic issue.
It should be interesting to see how Imperium forces respond to an unknown fleet claiming to be from Earth :P

Scrin :
In return for long range ships we share technologies with the Space Marines and the Imperium, as well as paying them for their troubles. With the war continuing on for so long against alien creatures, the Imperium is, I believe, always in need of more money.
Also I must stress that only long range ships are purchased, and in small numbers, before being custom fitted to suit Cyberverse technologies, which are capable of interplanetary travel but slow and cumbersome. SM ships are used in small quantities for unavoidable long range mission, such as the mission to Tharos. The Cyberverse is also developing advanced FTL technology, which is anticipated to be completed by the time the Tyranid Hive Ship lands on Tharos, and will allow us to create our own long range cruisers and battleships to travel to Tharos and other areas of interest.
;)
Scrinthia
02-07-2008, 04:21
GW and DGNE look fine, approved,
Cyberverse, I am not saying it does not need money. However, it would appear you do not fully understand the Imperium. The Imperium has lost many of its templates for making things, they scavenge old tech and are losing technological knowledge daily. They hold onto what they have fiercely and mourn deeply the loss of any set of space marine armor or ships. In tandem with their alien paranoia and whenever they encounter humans, they try to force them to the worship of the Emperor, I do not see how the SM, much more the Imperium, would sell ships. Also, I doubt them taking in tech since they consider all other technology, such as the Tau and Eldar as heretical, while theirs is pure.
Is there a problem with mine, or did it merely get missed?
The Cyberverse
02-07-2008, 04:27
Scrin :
The Cyberverse is a human race which the Imperium of Man wishes to envelop. Whilst they could take it by force allocation of ships to xenocidal tasks, as well as the human identity of The Cyberverse, make this an outside option. Until the Cyberverse merges into the Imperium, they are willing to benefit from technology which is similar to their own. They realise that while alien technologies should be destroyed, the technologies shown by the Cyberverse echo the Imperium's own lost technologies.
Anyway, I suppose the question is do you mind me having SM ships? If so, I could always be forced by the IoM to return the ships, and wait until my advanced FTL tech is installed to join the battle.
Scrinthia
02-07-2008, 04:33
No, I don't mind. That explanation does not make sense to me, but whatever. *shrugs* I protest on principle but its your nation.
Do you use warp travel for the moment until this new FTL drive is developed? Also, even if it is developed by the time the Hive Fleet arrives, I doubt they will be able to use it in the Tharos Conflict.
Yes, Kilrany, I missed yours. My apologies. You are fine. I don't want too many "Oops, FTL accident" incidents, but I know you and how you handle, so I am fine with it in your case. And no, I don't care if you have only normal soldiers and no crazy abilities. The Tau don't have crazy abilities, just really good guns after all. ^^ You're in. And so is Cyberverse.
I'd say only a few more will be allowed in before this gets out of hand. Come on in folks and make it quick.
The Cyberverse
02-07-2008, 04:39
The SM ships we use are equipped with FTL drives, and so those are used for long range missions, however for other missions yes wee use warp travel. As for our own FTL drive, ships are already constructed and merely require the installation of FTL drives and the tweaking of a few systems to be fully operational. Unless the conflict is short (which regarding that there are Tyranids involved might well be the case)?
Scrinthia
02-07-2008, 04:41
That makes no sense. You say you are developing FTL tech, yet your SM ships already have FTL drives? That does not make sense. Installing drives and making sure they work, also with the test runs of ships, training crews, all that takes time, lots of it. The conflict will be moderately long, depending on the actions of our participants, but even so, I doubt you would get too many up in time to participate, not to mention the time needed to take to travel to the Tharos system.
Chronosia
02-07-2008, 04:45
Nation Name: The Chronosian Imperium
Nation Description/Technology: 40k Chaos.
Reason for Arrival: Tharos is a doomed world. It's fate is charted daily by a thousand eyeless prophets, dictated to a million scribes who toil without tongues, diluting the message, focussing the clarity of the Gods. Upon the great Glyph Worlds they toil without end, illuminating others with the messages of the Ruinous Powers.
Tharos is marked and prophecied. It's passage through the heavens observed by auspex and sorcerous incant, it's place in the final battles given credence by signs. Beset by war and tumult, set upon by heathens and the great beasts...Tharos is ready to bear foul and wonderous fruit.
The hour draws late, come round at last. The tendrils of the Devourer seek to ensnare against the might of the Beast. The curious and the heathenous coil about it like serpents. Only the faithful can triumph upon Tharos. Only the blessed shall claim its unholy prize. The Herald of Nightmare holds forth The Aethyr Key, and only the annointed shall bow in the presence of it's glory. The power of making and unmaking shall be the domain of the Scion, and it shall elevate him to his godhead.
Force Deployment: Three Battle Barges; The Herald of Iniquity, The Hammer of Putresence and The Inescapable Torment. Two Despoiler Class Battleships. Two troop transport vessels, Guard. Kossean Blooded.
The Cyberverse
02-07-2008, 04:49
We are reverse-engineering FTL drives from the SM ships which had FTL drives installed from their service in the Imperium. This is where the basis of our FTL tech is coming from. However as always with reverse-engineering there are problems which we are solving using our own technology which is why we cannot yet produce reliable FTL drives. We also cannot purchase more Imperium ships for the reasons you have stated above (xenocide etc.)
But I will concede that most of our FTL ships will not be on the scene at Tharos until near the end of the war. This is presuming we decide to intervene in the conflict, which depends on the threat your Tau forces and the Imperium, Orkish, Tyranid and other nations forces. Considering this is a small nation I am leader of, it is likely that this expedition will leave with a few minor artifacts... although of course I could charge my forces into combat.
Besides, I am trying to dumb down my forces slightly, so that there are no huge fleets going into combat and my strength is relative to my size.
Scrinthia
02-07-2008, 04:55
.....*sighs*
Alright, you are contradicting yourself here. These "FTL drives" the Imperium has. Those are warp drives. Nothing different, warp drives. If the Imperium made them, they're warp.
Also, if you cannot buy more due to those reasons, then it would have not happened in the first place. Since the Imperium did not get xenocidal overnight. Also, there is only ONE artifact on Tharos. The world, as Chron's app shows you, was made to house this one artifact. It's power is enough to have it be the only thing on the world and corrupt it.
Also, Chron, accepted. No need to say anything else.
The Cyberverse
02-07-2008, 05:06
I apologise for these mistakes, and concede that your knowledge is far greater than mine.
However, I would ask that instead of sighing (:headbang:) you at least acknowledge that I am completely wrong and instead of trying to belittle me with patronising comments (quote 'Alright, you are contradicting yourself..., 'Warp drives. Nothing different, warp drives etc.' tell me straight up how stupid I am being. And I know that may sound like I am contradicting myself again but I prefer to be told things up front than be given patronising hints about my less than amazing Warhammer knowledge. Lets be honest, completing Dawn of War and reading a few articles about Warhammer 40k etc. doesn't give me a thorough grounding in these matters.
:)
Scrinthia
02-07-2008, 05:13
I am not trying to be patronizing here. But if you want to use the stuff from things such as 40k or other canon sources, it's best that you research it. I didn't use the Tau Empire until I had thoroughly researched it. Nice sarcasm, I am trying to help here, but if you want to snap back at me like that, fine. I can play that game too, if you'd like.
I clarified the artifact thing because thats mine, simply that. Yeah, I know that completing DoW and reading a few articles doesn't help much. So, go read some more. As I said, I read up on what I rp. In fact, before I even started this thread, I looked at Nids and Orks so I can could rp them right.
Also, the sarcasm is a bit much, and you're taking this way too seriously. Mine was advice, nothing more.
The Cyberverse
02-07-2008, 05:20
I'm not trying to be sarcastic, I actually do prefer to be told up front if I am bad at something. It allows me to see clearly what I am doing wrong. I am sorry if I appeared to be sarcastic
I did research Imperium ships before stating I owned them, but misunderstood information regarding engines - I presumed that warp drive and FTL travel were, if not the same thing as I originally thought, different means to the same end.
Sorry for taking this too seriously. I'll stop now.
EDIT :- Thanks for the link

Whenever Scrin says it is.
Oh right, Logos is essentially this sort of 'superpower' that humans have in the MMORPG Tabula Rasa. Its supposed to be along the lines of this:
1. Aliens attack Earth
2. Gov't has secret (essentially) stargates, or 'wormholes'
3. We find the Bane (name of attacking alien race) are on other worlds on an imperialist rampage
4. The ancestors of human were aliens... yadayadayada, the humans htat we evacuated from earth have this ability called 'Logos'
5. We're now in a war fighting alongside other aliens trying to survive
Okay, Logos is awesome, weird, but awesome. The first ability you get is 'Sprint,' its a hence the name kind of thing. Next is 'Lightning,' also hence the name. So now you can run really fast and fire lightning from your hand. Understand so far?
*Skips details and such*
Logos includes other nice things like, healing, ressurect enemies and use them as undead slaves, make shrapnel bombs on the spot, make your stronger and so on.
I made up Cryption awhile ago but after playing this game I came up with a more solid sense of what I wanted it to be. So it's partially inspired off of this.

I am back to FT, but with some changes.
Nation Name: Solar Communes
Nation Description/Technology: Technology is 99.99% hard sci-fi (http://www.projectrho.com/rocket/), 0.01% WH40k, with this 0.01% being exactly related to the Immaterium as they have a sort of Van Grothe's Rapidity in their home and only solar system. Tech level is at 3rd generation of nanotechnology(nanorobots, 100% artificial reprodcution, etc.) and they are masters of near speed of light flight technology rather than of FTL "technology"
Solar Communes is basically a post-human h (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcZ1cUEUrV4)omosexual majority anarchist society of nano-augmented technophiles and brain-net addicts(imagine if an Internet that connects directly to the human brain) with mainly mixed-race, black skinned individuals and an incredible level of astrobiophobia(or just "to be Extinct, for that is the fate of all Xenu").
Reason for Arrival: They get through the Warp without a Gellar Field and their psychs(or psykers) are not very experienced, hunting xenus through the warp to their home solar system with the intention of exterminating them, but who as expected, ended jumping in the wrong place instead of their intended destination.
Forces (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=546386) Deployment: 1 Redoubtable Long Range Assault Cruiser-Carrier(HQ), 6 Exterminator Orbital Strike Frigates, 2 Borealis Super-heavy lift VTOL transport spaceplanes, 24 FAI-65 orbital interceptors, 24 BAE-150 orbital strategic bombers. 17th "Scientology" Space Marines Company, 18th "Hubbardists" S. M. Company, 101th "Alienators" Solar Guard Mech. Infantry Div., 107th "Sturmpanzer" Solar Guard Tank Batallion, 132th "Plannine" Blackguards Mech. Airborne Company.
Yes, I know it's a bit on the too much side, but their primary disadvantage is that they will take any non-human force as an enemy, and that is also because they were going to wipe out aliens, but "the Warp did it" and disrupted their intended destination, putting them in a place they weren't willing to arrive at instead.
Understood GW. Just don't go crazy with it, balance is key.

I hope this will ICly last more than a week. At least once they arrive, the enemy forces will be more battered and easier to take. And they won't have any allies. The IoM is "fascist totalitarian theocratic police State" while the others are "Xenu scum"
And it's not a typo. They really call aliens as Xenu because of a very ancient event of their history related to Scientology.
Also, I'm not sure if Eris, Flying Spaghetti Monster and Invisible Pink Unicorn fit as "forces of Chaos", but Discordianism and joke religions are very popular in Solar Communes, like I mentioned once.

First, I had hopes there was no pre-set winner to the chase for the Aethyr Key :(
I need a Gellar Field intact. Less than 20% manage to return from the Warp with enough sanity to be cured by psychologists. Also Chron, just assume Solar Communes is hostile against Chaos, although mildly tolerant of Tzeentch. "Both absolute order and absolute chaos are the greatest enemies of freedom, anarchism and mankind, after the Xenu"
Also, I don't need 38000 years to simply end with a WW1-like tanks because most of the technology was lost after a nano-plague or something similar, but that's another matter.

Course there's no set winner. I just reeeeeeeally want it ^^
I could give you Warp Drives. Whether I have you gellar fields would be another matter. I really want to try that with someone...XD
And mock not the divine technology! The Omnissiah invokes interesting tangents as regard his holy and mysterious movements!

Essentially he needs a special field so he can travel in the warp, but I've always wanted to give someone warp drives with no gellar fields...For lulz.
That and he's mocking how crude Imperial technology is because they've forgotten most of it and regard whats left as mostly sacred and inviolate. Very few changes or inventions.
This is not dead, it's called I was dealing with other things, than the shit that is Time Warner Cable cuts out my internet for no reason for the second time this month. They will be visited by Chaos for their arrogance.
Now, I will be posting soon, now that I have my sweet internet back.
EDIT: Post is up.

Bah, I had such plans for that post but I couldn't seem to get them to work, so I guess this little thing will have to do for now.
Good to see you back Telros.
